Together With All The Pain
Catafalque Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The world continues to shrink
You are in it or not
I do know
everyone has to feel loneliness
Are we the ones who create this
or am I just swirling in the air
what is already there
together with all the pain

I can steal the pain in your heart
I steal in the running night
I swim in the lakes of tears on your face




Be the only sound in silence
and let me be your voice forever

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Catafalque's song Together With All The Pain is a thought-provoking reflection on the human experience of loneliness. The passive voice in the first two lines, "The world continues to shrink, You are in it or not," suggests a sense of detachment from the world, as if the singer is observing it from a distance. The second two lines, "I do know, everyone has to feel loneliness," acknowledges that loneliness is a universal experience.


The third and fourth lines, "Are we the ones who create this / or am I just swirling in the air," pose an interesting question about the origin of loneliness. Is it a product of our actions or a natural element of existence? The singer seems uncertain, as if they themselves are "swirling in the air" trying to figure it out.


The final line, "together with all the pain," ties the song together thematically by encapsulating the idea that loneliness is an inevitable part of the human experience, and is therefore to be endured along with the other pains of life.
